Get Into (Solar Heated) Hot Water
solarBiodiesel buses will leave at 10:00 and 11:00 AM from Justin Herman Plaza on a first-come, first-served basis on Saturday, June 21, to tour five different solar water heating installations in the city. Don't miss out!
 
Learn about solar water heating costs and incentive programs, installation tips, and environmental impacts. The tour and exhibit is part of Solar Day 2009, the first annual celebration of solar energy and its role in national energy independence, to be held on the first day of summer.

We're Soooo Gov 2.0
Even SF ecofinder appMayor Gavin Newsom is sounding off about the brand new EcoFinder app. The EcoFinder has always been a great web-based tool to enable SF residents to find out how to recycle or dispose of just about everything, but the EcoFinder iPhone application makes getting this information just that much easier.
 
So don't leave that old couch out on the street, use the EcoFinder to find free and easy ways to get rid of it, right from the comfort of your own phone. Download it here.

We need your help counting the types of bags shoppers are using at area stores. Paper, plastic, canvas?
 
Don't worry, you won't need to actually talk to anyone (heaven forbid). We want to see if our efforts to increase reusable bag use are working. We'll give you all the tools you need to conduct the survey. Contact Emily Utter, Campaign Coordinator, to sign up.
